DESIGN | Fall Garland Mantel + DIY Tassel Garland

My Christmas decorations are securely collecting dust in the attic until November 29 when they are allowed to see daylight. Until that moment- we are celebrating Thanksgiving at The Hall’s! I LOVE the colors of fall- so warm and cozy and golden. This is the season that brings me the most joy – the air is perfect, the food is delicious and people are just happier. I love you, Fall.

To bring the beauty of fall indoors I typically decorate with vases of acorns and pinecones, I tie burlap ribbons around the house and bring out as many white pumpkins as I can. This year I got crafty and added a bit of whimsy to the mix- inspired by this type of garland, my obvious tassel obsession and some extra yarn I had from this DIY Pom Pom Tree project – I put into action an idea I have had all season.

DIY Yarn Tassel Garland!

I think it looks cute and playful and I’d love to say that it was a quick and easy DIY project… but I’d be half lying.

This DIY project is pretty easy but hardly quick. This line of 7 foot garland needed 11 tassels and tassels take time… It took me the entire Falcons-Saints game to complete… easily over two hours. But it kept me occupied and I find this kind of stuff fun 🙂
